The Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is designed for adult women seeking elegant support and comfort, particularly those who require enhanced lift and cleavage without padding. Its key benefit lies in the luxurious embroidery and supportive construction, offering a beautiful silhouette. A potential caveat is its hand-wash-only care instruction, which requires specific attention to maintain the delicate materials. This underwired bra features a vertically seamed cup, wide wire for comfort, and an inner side sling for added support, all adorned with intricate embroidery and metallic threads.

A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or demi-bra, has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. It is designed to lift the bust upwards and outwards, creating cleavage and a rounded shape.
Yes, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is designed with an inner side sling and a wide wire, which are features that offer enhanced support and comfort, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes like FF and above.
No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is recommended for hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the delicate embroidery, straps, and overall structure of the bra.
Tumble drying can expose the bra to excessive heat, which can damage the elasticity of the fabric, melt the underwire casing, and potentially break the straps or rings, compromising the bra's fit and longevity.
Lurex® is a brand name for a type of metallic yarn that is incorporated into the fabric, typically adding a subtle shimmer or sheen. In this bra, it contributes to the luxe embroidery detail.
The inner side sling is a panel of fabric sewn into the side of the cup. It helps to gently guide the breast tissue towards the centre, enhancing uplift, support, and shaping, especially for those needing extra help in larger sizes.
The wing is made of 65% Polyamide and 35% Elastane. The cup is 100% Polyamide, and the top cup is 100% Polyester.
Ensure the bra is the correct size, especially the band. Check that the straps are adjusted correctly and the side sling is positioned properly.
Verify the band size is correct, as a band that is too tight can cause the underwire to dig. Ensure the bra is fully fastened and the cups are properly accommodating the bust.
Adjust the straps to be tighter, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, the bra may be too large, or the straps may need replacing if they are worn out.
Handle the bra with care during washing and wearing. If a thread is snagged, try to gently tuck it back in rather than cutting it. Avoid contact with rough surfaces.
Setup:
This is a garment designed for immediate wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and support. The straps are adjustable to fine-tune the fit.
Compatibility:
Suitable for adult women. Ideal for those seeking uplift, cleavage, and support, especially in larger cup sizes. Pairs well with various necklines, including V-necks and scoop necks, due to its balconette style.
